At our previous AGM we agreed to host an Invitational Bonspiel to celebrate our 40th anniversary and encourage more people to try the sport (with a view to joining us for the following season).
This was arranged for 15:00 on Saturday 31 March, playing on all 4 sheets at Kinross Curling. We invited KCDC (Kinross Curling Development Club), who sent 10 members, numerous friends/family/colleagues/neighbours/etc, as well as representatives from Fossoway Ladies and Kinross Ladies.
All participants were drawn into teams of similar demographic (at least one experienced Fossoway member, a KCDC player or two, and a beginner). We then gave some basic coaching before diving into a traditional game with an emphasis on having good old friendly fun.
After the game we all met in the bar for a customary drink before presenting prizes to the highest scoring team. Members of the various clubs gave short speeches to welcome the beginners and encourage them to enjoy more of our sport.
Time will tell what comes of this with regards to membership, but anyway, it was a very fun afternoon and we hope all our guests enjoyed the experience.
Some photos may appear on our facebook page at a later date.
